Method 2 - Wait Longer and Keep Trying
Sometimes the problem might not be your iPhone but rather the Apple servers could actually be experiencing issues due to the large volume of traffic they receive, especially after they release a new OS version like iOS 12. Therefore, if you have tried to activate and received the activation error message, simply wait for a while and then give it another try. While you are waiting, remove the SIM card from your device, wait for a few minutes and plug it back and then try activating your device again.
Method 3 - Reach the Activation Server by Another Mean
If you are still unable to reach the server, there are other methods you can use to reach the Apple servers. If you are using a cellular data connection, deactivate the cellular data and connect your device to a reliable Wi-Fi network. Connecting to a reliable Wi-Fi will ensure uninterrupted internet connection.
But if you cannot activate your device then you can use iTunes to connect. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Ensure that you have downloaded the latest iTunes version.
Step 2: Ensure that your personal computer has an internet connection.
Step 3: Launch iTunes on your computer and then attach your device to the computer.
Wait for iTunes to detect and activate your device. If you iTunes displays Set UP as New or Restore from Backup, then your device has been activated. But if you see an error on iTunes, then contact your service provider.
